SEARCH
is an early identification testing instrument for children 5 and 6 years
of age. The test content is designed to survey perceptual and neuropsychological
functions basic to learning. SEARCH
provides a total score to assess vulnerability to educational failure.
It has further power in offering clues as to clinical diagnoses as obtained
in intensive psychiatric and neurological studies of individual children.

TEACH
is a resource book of instructional tasks designed to mesh with the SEARCH
profile of assets and deficits. These targeted perceptual simulations
(TEACH)
relate directly to deficits uncovered by SEARCH
and verified by a multidisciplinary assessment.

Together
they are a powerful pair  The strength of SEARCH &
TEACH is in early intervention. This twofold approach offers educators
an effective tool for catching learning disorders at the beginning of a
child's academic career, before the downward spiral of failure begins.
With proper and timely identification and intervention, many children
can be spared the lifelong consequences of learning disorders.
